Firefox can't access a specific web site. WHY?

"I have already posted that in 10.4 Forum but the problem is in Leopard"
At home and office I can't access a specific web site with Firefox.
I have tried everything I was able to: cleared cache, deleted cookies, deleted firefox prefs, flushed DNS, tried to log with IP instead of domain, created a new user account in Mac OS, repaired permissions, but nothing happens!
The strange thing is I can access the web site trough a proxy. And I don't have a firewall or similar, my Mac is conected directly to the web. And the problem is the same in any browser I use, like Safari or Firefox or Camino.
Anyone has any idea about what is causing my problem?
Just in case, the site is demonoid.com.
PS: Thanks BDAqua to all support on the other thread.

demonoid.com
I feel like a dork. Maybe next time I'll read the post better.
Okay, I went to that site and it works fine for me.

    No proxies, AV, firewalls or anything. The internet cable is pluged into this Mac.
    The problem began 2 weeks ago. When I loaded the page the browser shows status done at the bottom of the window, and at the address bar I see the icon of the web site nd the address but nothing is shown. The source code for that page also is in blank.
    I am now using firefox 3 and still have the problem. Safari is up to date with no enhancers. I uninstall all extensions from Firefox also.
    Hard to believe, hum?

  • Can't access a school web site that I've used for years-can't log in with user and password. All other bookmarks are fine-tried several things including re-install-Other browsers are O.K.

    I have an iMac-have used Firefox exclusively for years. I can't access a school web site-can't get past the log in with user ID and password. Screen stays at log in screen. Tried clearing history-tried uninstall and re-install. All other web sites/bookmarks work fine. Thanks in advance.

    Try clearing the cache and deleting cookies for the site, this can sometimes resolve problems accessing sites that used to work. See [[how to clear the cache]] and [[deleting cookies]] for details.

  • Help - can't access my staging web site

    Hello
    A while back I wrote in seeking advice re: losing my access to a staging web site - Camelot kindly wrote the following, which I did but it didn't work...
    "Provided you're an admin on your system the easiest way is to open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and run the command:
    sudo echo "11.11.111.111 www.ekekekek.com" >> /etc/hosts
    exactly as written (changing the IP address if you need to). This command uses sudo to elevate your privileges. You'll be asked to authenticate by typing in your password (which won't be visible), then it'll run the 'echo' command which simply prints whatever's within the quotes and appends it to the file /etc/hosts. "
    Very helpful, but it didn't give me access to my staging site...last week my mac G5 crashed and had a kernel panic - spent about 1 1/2 days on the phone with half a dozen Apple techs trying to fix - it's fixed but now for whatever reason I can't access my Staging web site through any browser, though our live site is OK from any browser.
    So what can I do to again have access to the staging site? Are there more steps I should know in addition to Camelot's directions? What?
    I'm not a techy at all but designer so the more specific, very much appreciated.
    Thanks very much
    Kent

    OK so I figured out that I was supposed to go to
    Terminal/file/New Command to type in Camelot's code -
    which I did, got the password prompt, wrote it, it
    accepted it and came back with this: (the IP and name
    below, I've changed for this post only)
    "12.12.121.271 www.mycertainname.com">>/etc/hosts
    [Process completed]
    Hmm. That looks a little odd to me. First off, did you include the "sudo echo" part at the beginning from Camelot's post? I'm also a little curious about the "[process completed]" part. Usually, I come straight back to the prompt.
    But when I now go to type in my staging site's name
    in the browser, I get another web site which has the
    same name, still can't access this site of mine.
    I don't give my staging sites the same names, so I'm not sure how that would work if it had the same name as another site. For example, if I have a domain called "mydomain.com," the real web server would be "www.mydomain.com" and my staging server would be
    something like "staging.mydomain.com." That way, if I want to look at the real site, I type in one address. I type in the other if I want the staging server. You can't (easily) have the same text address (www.mydomain.com) resolve to different IP addresses. That requires some special DNS tricks that are beyond the abilities of the /etc/hosts file.
    At this point, re-run this Terminal command and post the results:
    <pre class="command">cat /etc/hosts</pre>Also, I can't figure out how to do this from the Network Utility, but you can check and see where your Mac is getting its lookup information by using another Terminal program called lookupd. You can also use it to flush the DNS cache, in case that's what's causing it to go to the other site. To flush the cache, type this in the Terminal at the prompt:
    <pre class="command">sudo lookupd -flushcache</pre>You should just get the prompt back when it's done. There's no feedback.
    To check where your Mac is getting its lookups, you use lookupd in an interactive mode. First, you type:
    <pre class="command">lookupd -d</pre>At the prompt in the Terminal window. Then you'll get a few lines of text and a ">" prompt. Type "hostWithName", then a space and your host's name, so it looks like this:
    <pre class="command">> hostWithName: www.apple.com</pre>When you hit the enter key, it'll do the lookup and give you a few lines information:
    <pre class="command">Dictionary: "DNS: host www.apple.com.akadns.net"
    lookup_DNSdomain: apple.com.akadns.net
    lookup_DNSserver: 208.67.222.222
    lookup_DNS_time_tolive: 58
    lookup_DNStimestamp: 1167796142
    lookupagent: DNSAgent
    lookup_infosystem: DNS
    interface: 4
    ip_address: 17.112.152.32
    name: www.apple.com.akadns.net www.apple.com
    + Category: host
    + Time to live: 43200
    + Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
    + Negative: No
    + Cache hits: 0
    + Retain count: 4</pre>Notice how it mentions DNS servers in several places, including "DNSAgent". That meant it used the DNS server at 208.67.222.222 to find the address for www.apple.com. Now, if I try it with a staging server (hosted on my iMac in this case), see what happens:
    <pre class="command">> hostWithName: test.mydomain.com
    Dictionary: "FF: host test.mydomain.com"
    lookupagent: FFAgent
    lookupvalidation: /etc/hosts 2 1166756640
    ip_address: 127.0.0.1
    name: test.mydomain.com
    + Category: host
    + Time to live: 43200
    + Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
    + Negative: No
    + Cache hits: 0
    + Retain count: 3</pre>Now, see how it says it looked it up using the FFAgent (Flat File), and even says it got it from /etc/hosts? If you're seeing anything except for FFAgent, then it's not looking in /etc/hosts for the info. There are ways to change the lookup order lookupd uses, but I'm pretty certain it was already set to use the flat files before DNS way before Panther.
    To quit the lookupd program, just type "quit" at the prompt.

  • Mac Book-Need assistance.  I can not access one specific internet site

    I'm unable to access one specific web site without clearin all history each time I access.   I dont have this problem accessing any other website.   My system is too old for Apple support.   Has anyone experienced this before?  Thank you

    Hi shldr2thewheel.  the option you provided says the site is up.  I still receive the message that Safari can reach the server.   I have checked w/th site owner and the isp and they say to contact the manufacturer.  I'm stumped.  do you have another suggestion?   Thank you

  • Can't connect to specific Web site

    I was able to access all Web sites using PCs attached to a WRT54GS (wired and wireless). Then, when nothing seemingly changed in my setup, I could no longer access a specific site with either wired or wireless. It is a site I access frequently (an ecommerce site that I maintain). Once the problem was seen on one PC, it is seen on all PCs using the router. It is a domain that I have registered, but I am not hosting it myself. Others have no problem accessing this web site.
    I was able to reset the WRT54GS a couple of times (not just power cycling) to get rid of this problem, but eventually, the problem was no longer corrected by a reset. I also upgraded to the latest firmware, and it did not help. I tried removing the router and connecting a PC directly to my cable modem. I could access the site just fine this way.
    I tried a different router (BEFSR41), and everything worked fine for a few days. Then the same problem started happening again. Resetting the BEFSR41 also stopped fixing the problem after a couple of tries. Again, hooking an individual PC directly to the cable modem worked fine.
    I then tried a second WRT54GS router. For several days, there were no problems. But eventually, the site was not accessible again. I have found no other sites that I could not access. I have borrowed a non-Linksys wireless router for over a month now, and the problem has not been seen.
    My question is why do three different Linksys routers (2 WRT54GS and 1 BEFSR41) no longer allow me to connect to a specific Web site? Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    I had the same problem, and I finally solved it through DNS refreshing.
    After MTU manipulation left me nowhere, I tried ye olde:
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /renew
    ...with no success.  I then looked over the ipconfig options, and decided to try:
    ipconfig /registerdns
    ...which finally worked!
    So much for twelve hours of my life.

  • I can't access to certain web sites

    I can't access to several websites (www.isisparenting.com, www.etvnet.com), including my internet television. So, I'm wasting my money. Traceroute revealed that certain nods are unavailable and stop signal passing. This is weird because the idea of Internet is based on re-routing if such kind of things happens. I chatted to Verizon representative (chat ID# 12261042593) and was suprised to know that this issue is "out of their boundaries". Is this my Internet provider, I ask myself? Seems like charging money is done better by them.
    I use MAC so neither firewall nor antivirus are installed that could potentially block some sites. I did basic things like restarting computer, router, trying different browsers. Nothing helped.
    Very important that I also tryed to connect via AT&T 3G on my phone and successfully accessed those sites. So, this is obviously Verizon problem.
    So, this is tracerouting info for etvnet.com:

    yeah they have a two to four hour lease time with their ip's.   so without calling them and asking that they release the ip address, the 20 minutes would be too short timewise.,

  • Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can. I followed the problem solving steps, however I can't access to any web site.

    I followed the following step (in spanish):
    Configuración de la conexión para Firefox
    Si te conectas a Internet a través de un servidor proxy que tiene problemas de conexión, no podrás cargar páginas web. Para comprobar la configuración del proxy de Firefox:
    1.En la parte superior de la ventana de Firefox, en la barra de menú, haz clic en el menú Herramientas, y selecciona Opciones....
    2.Selecciona el panel Avanzado.
    3.Selecciona la pestaña Red.
    4.En la sección Conexión, haz clic en Configuración... .
    5.Cambia la configuración del proxy:
    ◦Si no te conectas a Internet a través de un proxy (o no sabes si te conectas a través de uno), selecciona Sin proxy.
    ◦Si te conectas a Internet a través de un proxy, compara la configuración de Firefox con la de otro navegador (como Internet Explorer. Consulta Guía de configuración de proxy de Microsoft) (O Safari. Consulta Guía de configuración de proxy de Apple).
    1.Cierra la ventana de Configuración de conexión.
    2.Haz clic en Aceptar para cerrar la ventana de OpcionesHaz clic en Cerrar para cerrar la ventana de preferenciasCerrar la ventana de preferencias

    You need to allow for the loopback connection in Firefox, as an "outgoing" connection.

  • Can't access my own web site from only my laptop

    Inmotion hosting (my site's host) switched me to a "new and improved" shared server. I have several website hosted there. One (www.askthedogguy.com), I cannot access, front end or wordpress back end. When I type either url I am forwarded to http://ecbiz111.inmotionhosting.com/unavailable.html which contains a website unavailable message. My site was hosted on server was secure111.inmotionhosting.com. I have tried on several browsers (Safarie, Firefox and Chrome), cleared caches and cleared the dns cache using terminal all under the tutelage of Inmotion tech support's help.  I can access my site on my ipad and iphone and on my sons' PC.
    Inmotion says they've exhausted their fix ideas and suggested I contact Apple as the problem is isolated to my laptop only.
    Any ideas?
    -John

    You probably hacked the system during the development of the website. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Quit Terminal.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • When attempting to access a specific web page on my iPad, the page seems to load then quickly disappears (resembling a white/black we page). Other sites seem fine. Note this is also occurring when I use Chrome (to access the same page).

    When attempting to access a specific web site on my iPad http://www.sggplastering.co.uk the page seems to load then quickly disappears (resembling a white web page). Other sites seem fine.

    Thanks so much for addressing my question. Note that the site (www.xula.edu) was working with Safari this morning, but not this afternoon. I also have now been able to access it with Chrome (remember I could not access the site with Chrome initially). Essentially one time while the site was loading on Chrome I clicked another link on the site and opened a new tab for the link- the original page then loaded and now continues to load. I've been trying to do the same with Safari but the page loads and "goes to white" to quickly.
    Other notes: I've powered off my iPad (did not help) and restarted my iPad (also did not help). I can also access all other links (to other www.xula.edu related pages on the site using Safari - I find them via a google search)- it's just the home page that loads then goes to "white screen" very quickly. Thanks again for your reply - any help/advice provided is greatly appreciated.

    There is a specific web site that is extremely  slow loading and once it loads it is very slow logging in etc. Not having problems with other sites

    Could be the site's servers are weak or perhaps overloaded at certain times.
    Sometimes you may check around online and use information from places
    such as this web site to help see if the other ones are working correctly...

    Not sure how useful it is, but last week when craigslist was down, it was
    helpful to see what areas and which servers were down; since all of them
    did not go down at once. In that instance a Denial of Service attack may
    have been to blame. The cause of a site issue may vary.
    If the web site has a feedback or webmaster link, you may choose to tell them
    when their site is sub-par, in case they are not aware of problems. There are
    network tools to see and test web site and internet functions in your Mac's
    utilities folder, as part of the system in the computer.
    Hopefully their site issues are not too big an inconvenience.
    Good luck & happy computing!
